Where the Wild Things Are || #FelizFriday 2/9/18

Photography has always been a creative outlet for me. Ever since I was a little girl, I remember looking at my parents' images taken from far off lands and getting lost in those photos (they both worked + travelled for PanAm). Looking back, it's really no surprise that photography has become my calling...although it sure took me a while to figure out what was right in front of my face.

To say the least, the past couple of years since leaving a well paid corporate job in New York City, moving to Costa Rica, and diving head first into photography has been a whirlwind. I've come a long way, and still have so much to learn. I want to thank you for your love and support -- I'm so honored that every week you welcome my sunsets your inbox. You help drive + motivate me to be the best I can be. Muchisimas gracias!

And on this #FelizFriday, I'm so beyond speechless to let you in on a little secret I've had to keep quiet the past two months (which you know for me is a pretty hard thing to do)...

Five of my images are featured in the March 2018 issue of Harper's Bazaar UK for a beautiful multi-page Costa Rica feature. The piece is so beautifully written and I'm so honored to have my images alongside this piece, enticing the reader to drop everything their doing and book a trip to CR. (My images are the full page waterfall, top left corners, beach path, and of course, the sunset!)

Pinch me now, because even though I've been staring at this finished piece since it popped in my inbox last week, I still can't believe that this is real!!!!  

But enough of me and more for you, because #FelizFriday is all about sunset magic in your inbox! Let's get on to the real treat, the sunsets from the past week! XOXO

Pura Vida,
